Problem is not liveconnect but 'document.EkitDemoForm.Ekit'. This doesn't
evaluate to the applet. Only recently I fixed 'document.Ekit' shortcut for
>= kde-3.1.3. To make this work in konqueror, you have to use
'window.Ekit' (or just 'Ekit') or 'document.applets.Ekit' or
'document.applets[0]'.

For other khtml developers, there is something wierd with this applet in
HEAD. One thing is java related (another race in destroyApplet which I
want to look at tonight). But the other is something with the rendering.
The applet is created, immediately destroyed and then re-created again. If
I do a call on the applet, like
 dcop konqueror-19038 html-widget11 evalJS '""+Ekit'
it even crashes (probably a call to the first applet)

This should all work afaik.
